It’s time again for the BevMo 5-cent sale ~ buy one wine, get the second for 5 cents. This sale is available for ClubBev members ~ purchase one bottle at regular price, and get second of same bottle for only 5 cents. While the sale applies to select wines, there are over 200 to choose from. When this limited time sale comes around, we are frequently asked for recommendations of what to buy. There are so many great wines included, you can hardly go wrong with any pick. But, if you are really stuck… here are three we’ve enjoyed ~ all with price points of $19.99
We discovered Bridlewood earlier this year from a recommendation of a friend. While visiting the winery, we had the opportunity to taste the Syrah Reserve. This wine has a sweeter nose, with a touch of earthiness. It is a full bodied wine, with soft, but powerful tannins. It has pinot noir-like qualities, but carries the punch of a true syrah. Interesting, and very enjoyable.
In 2010, one of our favorite stops during our annual trip to Napa and Sonoma was Valley of the Moon. While there we also had the opportunity to taste Lake Sonoma wines as well. The zinfandel is a complex wine from start to finish, with abundance of ripe raspberry & strawberry flavors, enhanced with subtle notes of smoke, white pepper and a touch of vanilla. Very enjoyable ~ especially for the price!
Wattle Creek Triple Play Red '06
Wattle Creek is one of our favorite wineries ~ we especially enjoy their red wines. The Triple Play is a versatile, big red wine. It’s a blend that is mostly a Syrah with some unique characteristics. It is what I call an ‘ingredients to dessert’ kind of wine ~ enjoy on its own while you cook and with dinner. For more of a review, read 2006 Wattle Creek Triple Play
